Kids around the U.S. in schools are starting to write threats around the school as a joke. The sad part is when somebody brings up a school shooting and it is not seen as a big deal because we are now used to these types of outbursts happening more than they should. If we look back at 1998 when the Columbine shooting happened people were in shock because it was the worst that has ever happened before. It has happened so much from then to now that nobody is surprised when we hear about one. People are now expecting these to happen and that is the problem.
There is a forum on the internet who regularly, periodically ‘cyber bully’ people. You can’t get into trouble doing something on, or over the internet unless it’s a case of national security. I remember when I was in high school I got into trouble with other students for commenting on a Facebook page about the school. I didn’t even create it, but I got into trouble. But most of the parents of the other people, who got into trouble, were infuriated and the school decided to drop everything about the page.
In the U.S.A they call it "gun shooting” but the words that describe it best is "school shootings ". Often these massacres are carefully thought out down to the smallest detail, but there are also cases where it is spontaneous acts. It is not certain types who blow bombs and shooting wildly around them at schools. They have nothing in common, such as serial killers. In most cases did no one notice anything until the day it went wrong.
Some may live and some may die but a lot of the victims in my neighborhood are children who don’t have anything to do with what is going on just in the wrong place at the wrong time. My question to that is where is the right place to be for a child when gangs are shooting everywhere in parks, stores, malls, and schools, and who get caught up in the cross fire young children. We are losing our future! Second, we lose our sense of security. I know that I could let my 10 year old daughter walk to school by herself, but with shooting all the time I walk her to school.
Some (mainly parents) may oppose to this proposition as it may be an awkward environment where students are trying to learn but are feared by the knowledge that the very person standing in front of them teaching, is armed with a dangerous weapon. And who is to say the teachers themselves would not commit a crime? Not every person in the world is “good” and it’s not always the students that are to blame. There have been records of teachers that were unable to teach because of their emotional instability or mental illness. Knowing this, any teacher could pull off a well-devised plan to wipe out everyone simply because no one would have suspected them.
This scenario happens too often in the United States. America’s youth is unable to cope with difficulties in their lives and subsequently they are able to acquire a firearm and shoot fellow classmates in schools across the country. If students were unable to obtain a firearm due to stricter gun control laws, then the school shootings would seize to happen. However, in the present day United States, people seem to be able to obtain a firearm easier than obtaining a car on a car lot. Every day eight American children and teenagers die from gun violence.
A recent article states that about 77% of students have admitted to being the victim of a bully. The American Justice Department bullying statistics show that one out of every four kids will be bullied at some time by their adolescence (Bullying Statistics, 2013). One of the most unfortunate parts of these school bullying statistics is that in about 85% of bullying cases, no intervention or effort is made by a teacher or faculty member of the school to stop the bullying from taking place (Bullying Statistics, 2013). The consequences of bullying are numerous. Children are facing physical and emotional damage.
Outrage in Schools Due to Cellular Use Are these deathly rules we are dealing with? What happens when something occurs with a student or our own child? What are the school administrators going to do if something goes wrong and there is nothing a parent can do simply because they had no earthly idea it even happened? Kids constantly get in trouble for having cell phones even when they have to speak to a parent for a very important matter. Some schools banned pagers and cell phones starting a decade ago because of their connection to drug and gang activity, as well as due to the disruption to classes.
In recent history, mostly American, students, and even some church goers, have endured the fear of death approaching. Death crawled up to them in the form of man, and a man armed no less. That impending doom has not subsided, and under new fronts, has grown by a leader’s own malevolence. There exists no American method to deter these attacks, leaving many students continuously vulnerable and afraid of bullets passing through their bodies. Indeed, these students, and the general public, do not often consciously think of these problems, but whenever the idea arises in some other part of the country, a paranoid fear overtakes them; these dreadful events have their own history to discuss, in collaboration with that dread of impending death.
Bullying: A Big Problem with Big Consequences Most people can remember some experience with a bully while growing up. Bullying is the act of one person causing harm both physically and psychologically on another person repetitively, and there are four types: physical, verbal, social, and cyber bullying. Prevention and intervention program should be instituted in all school districts. It is such a big problem in schools everywhere that it can no longer be minimized and trivialized by adults, taken lightly, brushed off, or denied. Thousands of children go to school every day filled with fear and trepidation; other feign illness to avoid being taunted or attacked on the way to school or in the school yard, hallways, and bathrooms; still others manage to make themselves sick at school so as to avoid harassment in the locker room.
